Chapter 64: Precursor heat stroke
"Brother Zu, you actually broke the record?"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhen Long followed the provincial team to the Wutaishan Gymnasium and ran to the Hedao City team excitedly, and the first thing he said when he saw Su Zu was this.
"It's just the Chinese Games, there's no fuss." It was still early for Su Zu's rematch, and he was recuperating in a chair leaning on the ground in the rest area.
Seeing the two suddenly appear in front of him, he replied calmly. He didn't take the record of the Chinese Games too seriously, not to mention anything else, there were more records that were broken in this competition, and the player named Liang Junxin in Guangdong Province was strong, and it was estimated that he would create better results in the finals.
"The Chinese Games are also very powerful." Zhen Long's little eyes were shining, and he was a bit of a fan brother. At this time, the men's singles champion was still young and did not fight bravely on the badminton altar, and this year's Chinese Games was the first large-scale competition he participated in.
"Well, do you think you'll be able to win the gold medal this time?" Su Zu didn't want to continue to say anything record-breaking, it was really awkward to talk about this in front of a person who would become a men's singles world champion, so he diverted the topic and pulled it to badminton.
"I don't know, the coach said that my physical fitness and strength are not enough, just do my best."
"What is the specific degree of lack of strength?" After two months of training in the Hedao City team, Su Zu has some experience.
"I've heard the coach tell me that whipping, that is, smashing the ball, you have to hit at least 200 kilometers per hour to be qualified." Zhen Long was interested when he talked about this, "Brother Zu, do you know that our top player in this project can break watermelons with badminton. That's how you serve, and then poof, you can break the watermelon with a shuttlecock. Zhen Long said as he demonstrated his hands.
"Really? There is so much power! Su Zu sat up straight, badminton, Su Zu has also watched the game on TV, and he has played with people before, and he still doesn't believe that the light ball of badminton can break the watermelon.
"Of course it's true." A voice next to him suddenly interjected.
"Coach, why are you here?" Su Zu looked up and followed the direction of the sound, and saw Li Zhizhong wearing a white sun hat and walking over with his hands behind his back and a smile.
"I heard that you broke the record in the morning, you did a good job, and the semi-finals will be held in the afternoon, so I have to show up to cheer you on."
"That's the coach, you're well trained." Su Zu patted his ass, but he was slandering in his heart, you don't have any points in your heart? The calm and calm appearance of being a coach is much more confident than that of me as an athlete.
In the few previous tests, the stopwatch was closed after each test, and he was not told how much he had run. The 100-meter dash is such a thing, if there is no reference, there is no accurate electronic speed measuring instrument, and the feeling of the chief officer is sometimes not so accurate.
However, the side also confirms that Lao Li does have a few brushes, and the targeted core strength training is remarkable.
"Coach Li, okay."
Unexpectedly, Zhen Long actually knew Li Zhizhong, and got up to say hello very obediently. But think about it, Li Zhizhong himself has said that he has been seconded by the badminton team several times to help athletes train their physical fitness.
"You just talked about the strength of badminton players, this is not an exaggeration, the top players can hit a badminton ball can reach a speed of 300 to 400 kilometers per hour, and it only takes 0.15 seconds to cross a badminton court, such speed and power can easily break a watermelon."
"So for a competitive event that is explosive and confrontational, strength is very important." Saying that, Li Zhizhong's gaze stayed on Su Zu, "This is why I have repeatedly emphasized the importance of core strength to you. You were able to break the record this time, and this is one of the reasons for the rapid growth of your results. ”
As a few people spoke, time passed bit by bit.
Li Zhizhong raised his hand and looked at his watch, the time was already 2:40 in the afternoon, not far from the men's 100-meter rematch. didn't say much, and directly drove Su Zu out to warm up.
The schedule in the afternoon is much tighter than in the morning, mainly for the semi-finals and finals, and the number of people is small, which is faster than that.
At 3:00 the men's 110m hurdles final, 3:15 is the women's 100m semifinal, 3:25 is the men's 100m semifinal, 3:40 is the men's first round of the 400m heats, 4:30 is the women's 100m final, 4:40 is the men's 100m final, and finally at 4:50 the men's 400m second round heats.
Su Zu was on the runway where the stadium was not blocked, and simply ran a few times, twisting his waist, pressing his legs, stretching or something, the weather in the afternoon was terrifyingly hot, and Jinling, known as the three major furnaces, was not playing, and he was sweating when he moved casually. The organizers have prepared several large boxes of heatstroke prevention and cooling supplies such as mineral water, light salt water, and wind oil essence.
may also be due to the weather, the audience in the afternoon venue is more than half less than in the morning, and those who can still come to watch the game in this hot weather are needless to say that they are all true love.
When Su Zu was warming up, he met Zhang Quanshan again. Today's 400-meter preliminaries are immediately behind Su Zu's 100-meter semi-race, which will also be driven out by the team leader to warm up.
"I heard that you broke the 100-meter record at the Chinese Games in the morning? Awesome, you're going up on a rocket. In Zhang Quanshan's impression, Su Zu's level was not too exaggerated a few months ago, and he had just run into 11 seconds, and in the blink of an eye, he had already broken the record in the Chinese Games.
"I did some targeted strength training in Hedao City, and the improvement was quite large." Su Zu touched the sweat on his forehead, moved his wrists and ankles, and replied indifferently. There's no way to tell you about this kind of thing.
However, according to the total time, from entering the sports school in December last year is about 11 seconds 8 seconds, to now in August, more than 9 months have passed, the speed has increased by more than a second, and the progress is amazing, but the usual lot of training and hard work are always seen in the eyes, so that no one really makes a fuss.
"I have to tell Coach Zhuang about the news when I go back, the provincial team Coach Shen, I don't feel good when I look at it, it's a big set of theories at every turn, and I don't have fart skills." Zhang Quanshan obviously also dealt with Shen Guoying, and he had a bit of hatred for the enemy.
Su Zu smiled, and didn't bother to take up this topic, seeing that the time was about the same, he was ready to go to the 100-meter semi-race. Said hello to Zhang Quanshan, "Okay, I have to go back, remember to say hello to Coach Zhuang on my behalf." ”
"Go ahead, I'll come over and cheer you on when I'm free. You remember coming and watching me race, I'm also running fast in the 400 meters. ”
Back to the competition venue, the 100-meter semi-final of the women's group has begun, Su Zu did not go back to the rest area, and watched the two groups of semi-finals of the women's group directly under the scorching sun.
When the men's 100-meter semi-final began, Su Zu stood on the track. I was swept away by the heat, and I was slightly dizzy in front of my eyes. The sun was so poisonous that the air above the stadium was slightly distorted by the steaming heat. Thin spikes stepped on the runway, and there was a bit of hot feet.
Think of this kind of weather competition, which is a test for both the athletes and the referees.
The rematch was 16 into 8, and the record-breaking players from Guangdong Province, Liang Junxin and Su Zu, still failed to be in a group. Those who don't know the inside story may wonder how they can't meet all the time. But the fact is that most of the tournaments are like this, and generally the organizers will deliberately avoid some key seeded players in the group stage, and wait until the final final to meet, so as to increase the topic and the enjoyment of the final, and at the same time, this arrangement can also promote the strong confrontation in the final to the greatest extent and burst out better results.
Otherwise, a group ceremony is a super strong player, which can easily cause these players to compete too early, and when they wait for the finals, they will be out of shape. It is not uncommon for some players with average performance levels to be picked up.
Su Zu ran averagely in this group of semi-finals, probably because of the weather, he stayed in the sun for a long time, and he was a little hot, and then he didn't do his best, only ran 10.81 seconds, and entered the final with the third place in the group.
In fact, the athletes who can go to the step of the 100-meter semi-finals are not bad, basically within 11 seconds, after all, it is the National Middle School Games, the best of the best, and some high school sports students are still very good.
After running this group of semi-finals, Su Zu returned to the rest area of the Hedao City team, and Li Zhizhong threw him a bottle of light salt water, and seemed to notice that Su Zu was a little abnormal, "What's wrong?" Feeling unwell? ”
"It's a little hot." Su Zu didn't feel particularly good, and he didn't sweat much after the rematch.
Li Zhizhong reached out and touched Su Zu's forehead, his brows frowned slightly, "Maybe it's a little heatstroke, you didn't pay attention to hide from it, it's so big sun." ”
In Lao Li's impression, Su Zu is a particularly trouble-free athlete. The training is hard, the work and rest are punctual, there has never been any mess, and the self-discipline is amazingly good.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old young people are rebellious, and some people with bad tempers or troublemakers can make coaches vomit blood.
And Su Zu has been doing a good job in this regard, thanks to his self-control as an adult, no one has to worry about training or life, he has always maintained quite good habits, and his physical condition has been maintained very well. On the one hand, the body is much stronger than ordinary people, and then pay attention to maintaining good living habits. This is the first time I have encountered heat stroke.
"Coach Li, what's wrong?" Hearing that Su Zu was suffering from heat stroke, team leader Wen Rongguang was even more nervous than the person concerned, and ran over in a few steps.
Heat stroke can be big or small, light can make people flustered, dizzy, severe can make people vomit and diarrhea, difficulty breathing, fever, cause cardiovascular complications, and even fainting and sudden death. Either way, it wasn't what Wen Rongguang wanted to see.
Li Zhizhong impatiently stretched out his hand to push Wen Rongguang aside, "Director Wen, you let it go first, it's nothing, it's just a precursor heat stroke." ”
"Coach Li, you have to pay attention, this heat stroke is not a trivial matter, Su Zu and the others will have to compete in the finals." Wen Rongguang went around twice anxiously, but was blocked by Li Zhizhong. In today's game, the players of the Hedao City Middle School Student Representative Team did not play very well, and he, the team leader, is still under some pressure.
"Don't worry, you won't be delayed." Li Zhizhong replied without raising his head.
It was also at this time that Su Zu leaned back in his chair and suddenly found that at the bottom of his system data panel, there was an additional status bar at some point.
[Negative Status Effect: All Body Attributes Reduced by 5%]
"This is the system prompting me to have heat stroke, which affects the whole state of the body."
Su Zu silently recalled the situation just now, his body had been sweating during the warm-up, and there should be no big problem. Maybe it was during the women's 100m restart, in order to watch them race, they stayed in the sun for a longer time.
"Don't worry, you're just getting a little bit of a sign, it's going to be easy."
Li Zhizhong was obviously very experienced in facing this kind of problem, so he first asked Su Zu to sit in his position, took some wind oil essence and wiped it in the tiger's mouth, human center, temples and the back of his neck, and then used his index finger and middle finger to pull and pinch Su Zu's eyebrows and the back of his neck a few times.
This method is called "knotting" in folklore, and it is a kind of twisting and squeezing therapy in gua sha. Simple and practical, many Chinese people know this.
After that, he used a cold towel to cool down his head and face, and it didn't take long for Su Zu to feel a lot more comfortable, and the negative status bar in the system gradually changed from 5% to 4% or 3%...... After 1%, it slowly disappears.
"Brother Zu, you are very much like Erlang God now."
Zhen Long, who had been watching from the side for a long time, saw that Su Zu was already well, and immediately ran over with a smile and made a joke.
Su Zu walked to the bathroom and took a photo, and sure enough, a crimson vertical mark at the center of his eyebrows was extremely clear, a bit like the vertical eyes of Erlang God in TV movies. And in addition to the eyebrows, the back of the neck was also pulled by Li Zhizhong with reddish-purple traces. This kind of scab was not uncommon in his hometown before, and he even suffered from heat stroke when he was a child, and he was also rubbed by his mother like this once.
After taking a sip of water in the rest area, and hearing the announcement of the men's 100-meter final on the radio outside, Su Zu got up and said hello to Zhen Long.
"Cheer me on, I'm going to the game."
